HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

A little disjointed list but did the detailers by any chance pressure wash the engine. That is a big NO-NO!

Gearbox faults without a corresponding CEL/MIL says electrical issues or ATF level.

Wait a week!

 

sounds like the connector sleeve for the trans is leaking and the contacts a wet

you may only need a tranny pan and connector sleeve,in the years i have worked for jag i have only replaced 2 6hp gearboxes the reason it kicks is because its low on fluid

i have a pan sleave and fluid if you can confirm that they are bad

oh and im local to you pm me i can help you out

 

What does this sleeve look like and, and what part of thr tranny would it be uner the car. Thank you for your help , I'm steven
